"Technology became the new religion, not Tim Leary and his "mind expanding drugs"...amazing how many "hippies" that survived Woodstock have a blackberry, i-Phone, i-Pod, and a laptop and don't take LSD anymore."

You're one ignorant person.. Steve Jobs took LSD and said it helped him to design apple computers. So if it wasn't for LSD and it's affect on Steve Jobs, you and all the surviving hippies wouldn't have i-pods.

As for the recording, it's obviously not one of their best shows but it's a piece of history. I can sit here and listen to a show that happened 43 years ago, and not pay a dime. Thanks for the upload.

Right on, lpenoza!

Some reviewers have too much of an "elitist" attitude, I agree. Some would condemn me for not knowing anything just because I wasn't born early enough to see the Dead play in the late 60s or early 70s. How can I change when I was born? That said, be careful. One can appreciate a group's music or a person's art without necessarily adhering their ideology. Mozart was a mason. Does that mean I have to agree with Masonry to enjoy his music? I don't think so. Wagner had some whacked out ideas about German nationalism. Do I have to buy into that if I like listening to Wagner's operas? Nope. Likewise, I don't have to buy in to hippie ideology to dig the Grateful Dead.

The Dead's music is so deep and textured that it draws in all sorts of people from all sorts of backgrounds. It's a big tent for lots of types.

That said, the Woodstock gig was not the Dead at their best. This is pretty hard to listen to compared to ... oh, just about anything else from 69.

The spammer known as "ah_uh_oh_um" uses windoze media player, and pumps realplayer... Go on back to trading stock on your mom's computer son, the grown-ups are talking here. Come back after you try some acid, and tell us how scary it was.

The ah_uh_whatever review is the first time I have seen the Nixononian "dirty hippies" sermon in 35 years or more. One wonders aloud how someone with this opinion could enjoy one second of the Grateful Dead, or the scene they represent. I can easily see how the reviewer would be familiar with, and reference, NWA. Breaking the entire world down to a matter of money was a tight fit too.

One must wonder how someone that was 14 in 1969 would not have learned that the blind, blanket criticism of others does not pay, financially or otherwise - unless you are in the hate business.

There are some people who could probably profit from a good, stiff dose of LSD. The preachy reviewer with the big attitude and the tiny outlook may just be one of those people...

One notes that this "reviewer" has been SPAMMING for Real Player all over the archive... Hmmmm.
"Deadhead" indeed...

All Deadheads know Real Player is far from free and use VLC, Audacity, Audacious, etc.

KY would be too good for him - he deserves his blisters...

47 minutes for Lovelight! That has to be the longest one they ever played, its definitely the longest song from Woodstock, should have been on one the anniversary compilations just for that trivial fact. What the hell though with High Time?
That song was a tired dragging waste of time to be playing at 2am.

The GRATEFUL DEAD at Woodstock 40 years ago today!

July 69', the "Establishment" put the first men on the moon... August 69' the Hippies put on 3 Days of Music & Peace in upstate New York...well, the rewards from the Moon Landing keep paying dividends even to today, and the Woodstock, Music and Peace thing?

Well, Rap replaced Rock...lmao, and the Peace thing still ain't caught on...I never heard NWA sing about peace. I guess when you can put a profit in peace then we'll have it?

Technology became the new religion, not Tim Leary and his "mind expanding drugs"...amazing how many "hippies" that survived Woodstock have a blackberry, i-Phone, i-Pod, and a laptop and don't take LSD anymore.

We can repeat the Moon landing, can the Hippies repeat Woodstock? They tried a few times, Watkins Glen, Atlanta, ALTAMONT...but they were nothing like Woodstock.

This ain't the worst show the DEAD ever did.

I think the fact that Pigpen did a 45 minute version of "Turn On Your Lovelight" is proof he was the only one on stage NOT on LSD that day....lol.

They were there as part of the scene, they were not interested in the exploitation of the Hippies, or the exploitation of the music...they enjoyed themselves, and didn't care about being "shocked" by the ungrounded mics, and all the other cool "crap" that went on at Woodstock.

My favorite performers from Woodstock are Joe Cocker & the Grease Band, The Jefferson Airplane, Santana, The Who, Sly & the Family Stone, Janis Joplin, Canned Heat, Ten years After, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young and Jimi Hendrix.

If you're a fan of the GRATEFUL DEAD you're gonna want this show...too.

I was 14 when Woodstock took place, I was too young to go...but I remember all the freaks, weirdo's and hippies carrying on like they were the center of the universe...yeah, of their own world.

My older brother went, he was 18-19, he came back with Mono...missed the start of college that September, wasn't healthy enough to go to school until January. LMAO...freaks.

Woodstock....no food, no water, no toilets, no phones, roads blocked for tens of miles, and lots of rain....and the hippies will tell you it was the BEST THING that ever happened on planet earth...watch the movie now, 40 years later...see if it still gives you that same feelin...

My first rock concert wasn't Woodstock, it was Led Zeppelin at Madison Square Garden September 19, 1970, and I am glad.

I recommend using your EQ during playback of most of the shows on the IA, this one included.

Windows Media Player has a 10 band EQ and SRS WOW effects that enhance the sound.

Here's one way to stream/dowload this show:

The IA recommends users of Windows XP view this web-page with RealPlayer.

RealPlayer is a free media player you can download at www.realplayer.com.

Using RealPlayer to view this webpage, click the VBR M3U link to open the songs in the Playlist.

If your Playlist is not open, open it by clicking the Playlist icon at the lower right hand corner of RealPlayer.

Once the songs are in the Playlist, double click the song to play it, then click the record button at the lower left hand corner of Realplayer to record it.

When the red line reaches the other end click the stop button to download the song. Your song is in the RealPlayer Downloads folder.

Repeat these steps for each song.

Eat, Drink, Be Merry and Listen to the GRATEFUL DEAD, or BUST.

Thanks for the LOVE from Woodstock.
